Bayelsa Guber Poll: APC Reacts To Sylva’s Exclusion From List Of Candidates

165

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the deletion of the name of its governorship candidate, Timipre Sylva, from the list of candidates for the November 11 governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Tuesday, removed Sylva’s name and his running mate, Joshua Maciver, from the updated list uploaded on its website.

INEC had excluded the name of Slyva in compliance with the ruling of a Federal High Court that disqualified him from the election.

But reacting in a statement on Wednesday, the spokesman of the Bayelsa APC Gubernatorial Campaign Council, Perry Tukuwei, said the removal of Slyva’s name was a temporary setback which should not upset supporters of the party.

Tukuwei stated that the party’s lawyers had challenged the court decision and applied for a stay of execution of the judgment pending the outcome of the appeal.

He added that the party expects victory at the Court of Appeal at the end.

The statement t reads: “The Bayelsa APC Gubernatorial Campaign hereby urges our dear people of Bayelsa not to be deterred about the recent happenings in the polity as we match towards the victory post at the Nov. 11 Governorship Election.

“We are clearly miles ahead with a well thought out Renewed Hope for Bayelsa agenda as well as resounding successes recorded in campaign activities across communities culminating in the decision by people of the state.

“To look the way of Chief Timipre Sylva and Joshua Maciver as the next Governor and Deputy Governor respectively.

“Our dear people of Bayelsa, do not fear. Do not be discouraged. We are on course with no distractions.

“Our lawyers are very well on top of the situation as we expect victory at the Court of Appeal. We will win.”
